The new Dark Elves are here! Come and check out the newest Blood Bowl team and Shadespire pre-orders available this week from GW.
Here are all the new kits and accessories with prices for the new Bloodbowl and Shadespire releases and what can expect to shell out for them.
Naggaroth Nightmares Home-field Advantage: $110.50
A great collection of Dark Elf products sure to please any Blood Bowl coach, this is a bundle filled with goodies – including:
The Naggaroth Nightmares
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble the Naggaroth Nightmares, a Dark Elf Blood Bowl team. The team consists of 6 Linemen, 2 Blitzers, 2 Runners and 2 Witch Elves – each is clad in some pretty spikesome armour, with the hides of Cold Ones draped over their shoulders. The Witch Elves are …slightly less armoured, and can be modelled either with hands pointing imperiously toward their opponents – or clutching a still-beating heart. The Linemen have 3 different designs of head.
There are a host of extras in the kit – 2 turn markers, 2 double-sided score coins featuring a Dark Elves icon and 4 balls – 2 kraken eggs (with protruding tentacles) and 2 balls made from the hide of a Cold One, lacking pegs.
Blood Bowl Dark Elves Dice
The perfect companion to your Dark Elves Blood Bowl team, this set of handsome dice in Iridescent blue and purple with white markings, featuring white dots (with a Dark Elves icon in place of the 6) includes:
3 Blood Bowl Block dice
2 6-sided dice
1 8-sided die
1 16-sided die
Blood Bowl Dark Elf Pitch & DugoutA double-sided card Blood Bowl pitch, complete with matching dug-outs, this is the perfect place for your Dark Elves teams to play. One side represents a pitch aboard a corsair vessel peacefully sailing the calm azure seas – the other side is a touch more fraught, as an enormous sea monster – a kraken, attracted by the roar of the crew – is dragging the vessel down, soaking the pitch with slippery brine and hampering plucky players with its questing tentacles. The dug-outs are themed to match, and feature score trackers, reserves, Knocked Out and Serious Injury boxes, Down trackers for both halves, and a re-roll tracker.
The pitch is made to the same specifications as the board included with the Blood Bowl boxed game, and includes rules for play with the bothersome aquatic pest trying to hinder your match.
